Why hand calligraphy over computer fonts?
The elaborate cursive fonts so commonly used on wedding invitations were created to simulate hand writing. But they have been so widely used for commercial ads and mailings that for example, you may receive a bulk-mail invitation to a sale event at a department store, and a wedding invitation for your friends wedding, and they may both feature the same cursive computer font. Although fonts can be beautiful in their own right, I hope you will agree that something exquisitly hand-crafted stands apart from anything computer generated. Hand lettering can be used from the invitation artwork designed for you and then printed in the method of your choice, to the envelopes addressed in the matching hand, then on to the reception where there are many more opportunities to feature hand lettering such as menus, programs, escort cards or even a beautiful seating chart.
